You can find below a list of Links to other Web sites the have information related to radiation and environmental protection. It is divided into three sections:
Environmental Engineering
Superfund Home Page
The Superfund program was created as a result of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). CERCLA was enacted on 12/11/80, and amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986. These acts established broad authority for the government to respond to problems posed by the release, or threat of release, of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants. CERCLA also imposed liability on those responsible for releases and provided the authority for the government to undertake enforcement and abatement action against responsible parties.
EPA's Clean-Up Information
Bulletin Board
The Hazardous Waste Clean-up Information Web Site provides information about innovative treatment technologies to the hazardous waste remediation community. It describes programs, organizations, publications and other tools for federal and state personnel, consulting engineers, technology developers and vendors, remediation contractors, researchers, community groups, and individual citizens. The site was developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency but is intended as a forum for all waste remediation stakeholders.
CRD-LV
The Characterization Research Division-Las Vegas (CRD-LV) develops and applies approaches to identify and characterize exposure of humans and ecosystems to chemical pollutants (spilled petroleum products, for example), physical stresses (like land use practices), and other risk factors in our environment.
CSMoS Home Page
The EPA Center for Subsurface Modeling Support, or CSMoS, provides a source for publicly available ground-water and vadose zone modeling software and services. CSMoS was established in 1989 to provide a focal point for the distribution of models and databases developed through in-house and extramural research activities, to provide technical support for these models and databases, and to provide review of model applications at hazardous waste sites.
NAREL
The National Air and Radiation Environmental Laboratory (NAREL) is a comprehensive environmental laboratory managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Radiation and Indoor Air (ORIA). NAREL is located on the Gunter Annex of Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama, and provides services to a wide range of clients, including other EPA offices, Federal and State agencies, and , in some cases, the private sector. NAREL facilities incorporate state-of-the-art laboratory technology and equipment and include the latest health and safety techniques, as well as strict monitoring and control of laboratory emissions.
R&IE
The Radiation and Indoor Environments National Laboratory (R&IE) is an Environmental Protection Agency laboratory dedicated to protecting the public and the environment by minimizing exposure to radiation and indoor air pollution through environmental measurements, applied technologies, and education.
NERL/ERD/Athens Extramural Research Programs Home Page
This is the Extramural Research Programs Home Page of the EPA National Exposure Research Laboratory - Ecosystems Research Division (NERL-Athens) located in Athens, GA. This page is designed to provide the latest information on planned and current extramural research programs.
Environmental Research
National Library for
the Environment Proposal
The National Library for the Environment is a project of the Committee for the National Institute for the Environment (CNIE). The library addresses the need for objective, scientifically sound information on environmental issues. It will eventually include three on-line components: congressional research service reports, an encyclopedia of the environment, and in Depth Issues in the Environment.
AWBERC Library
The Library provides scientific and technical information in support of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's research programs. In addition to serving EPA staff, the AWBERC Library also provides environmental information to other Federal Agencies, the regulated community, and the general public.
NEIRC
The purpose of the National Environmental Information Resource Center (NEIRC) is to provide one-stop, user-friendly access to a broad range of information about environmental matters -- maintained by hundreds of organizations around the globe.
The
Water Librarians' Home Page
The librarian for a California water agency developed this water resource links Web Page.
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
The mission of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), as an agency of the Public Health Service in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is to prevent exposure and adverse human health effects and diminished quality of life associated with exposure to hazardous substances from waste sites, unplanned releases, and other sources of pollution present in the environment.
Comprehensive Epidemiologic Data Resources
The Department of Energy (DOE) has developed the Comprehensive Epidemiologic Data Resource (CEDR) Program to provide public access to health and exposure data concerning DOE installations. Most of the data are from epidemiologic studies conducted by DOE-funded researchers as part of the DOE Worker Health and Mortality Study.
Nuclear Age Timeline
The timeline traces the nuclear age from the discovery of x-rays and radioactivity to the explosion of the first atomic bomb through the cold war to its thaw to the cleanup of the nuclear weapons complex. This publication gives you a brief explanation of events on the timeline plus a guide for further reading and classroom resources.
